The Ryder Cup Tees Off

The Ryder Cup From Medinah

First to Tee off in Europe's golf defence of the 39th Ryder cup in Medinah on Friday 28th September will be Rory McIlroy and Graeme McDowell. The Northern Irishmen will Tee off the foursomes matches at 0720 (1320 BST) against Jim Furyk and Brandt Snedeker.

The unbeaten partnership of Luke Donald and Sergio Garcia hopes to continue today when they come up against Phil Mickelson and Keegan Bradley.

Slightly out of form in his last outing at the FedEx Cup Playoffs Lee Westwood partners Francesco Molinari to take on Jason Dufner and Zach Johnson, and Ian Poulter and Justin Rose face Tiger Woods and Steve Stricker.
